Do You Think A Job Is the Answer?

About This Movie

So, 'Do You Think A Job Is the Answer?' is this documentary that digs into the aftermath of the Detroit riots in '67. It's all about how the city thought employment for Black men, particularly those out of work for ages, could somehow mend the racial divide. The tone is pretty raw, reflecting the tensions of the time. It doesn't shy away from showing the struggles and the systemic issues at play. The pacing is a bit uneven, which feels intentional, almost like it's mirroring the chaotic energy of the era. There's a certain gravity in the interviews, and while the production isn't flashy, it captures some stark realities quite effectively. It’s distinct in its approach, focusing less on sensationalism and more on the human aspect of unemployment and race relations.
